Compliance Risk Management and Your Suppliers

Why Should You Attend:

Materials regulations can cause stop shipments, and result in fines, fees, and lost sales if compliance programs are not in place and documentation is not available upon requests.

REACH and RoHS present compliance challenges for companies looking to act in accordance with the laws and directives. This webinar will review the fundamentals of each regulation and provide a step by step process for building internal compliance programs.

You will be able to identify risks in your products and supply chains by understanding the impact each regulation has on business and by understanding how and when you need to comply. You will walk away with a framework for the 10 steps to building solid compliance programs.
